Replication Data for: Malaria infection and severe disease risks in Africa

This is a replication dataset for the manuscript: "Malaria infection and severe disease risks in Africa."

These data were obtained from 13 hospitals in East Africa that had a continuous paediatric ward surveillance established for the purposes of monitoring acute febrile illness aetiology, disease burden epidemiology or research settings for improvements in hospital case-management. Each site used malaria diagnostics on all febrile presentations, an electronic medical record form that recorded standardised features of severe malaria and documented residential addresses on all admissions. The data includes the signs and symptoms of the three common paediatric severe malaria phenotypes (severe malaria anaemia, respiratory distress and cerebral malaria) including alternative definitions of these severe pathologies.
